''Happy Valentine's Day! On tour with First Aid Kit last year I crossed the highway from our Super 8 motel just outside of Santa Rosa, New Mexico and stumbled upon this strange water park. I ran back and dragged Nick out of his bed yelling, 'we must make a video!'; we only had an hour before we needed to start driving to the next show but we managed to get enough footage of me looking sad to make the clip.''

Julia's second album Crushing is out on 22nd February - you can preorder the album in very special bundles, with very limited edition items including signed postcards, sweatshirts designed by Julia, and flexi-disks of the previously unreleased single Friends. Order yours here.

In November, Julia and her band played a run of three intimate sold out dates; they return in March with a full UK/European tour - including a fast-selling show at London’s Electric Brixton and sold out appearances in Brighton, Manchester and Glasgow. Julia has also been announced for two UK festival shows, Latitude and Green Man. Tickets for all dates are available here.
